Canadian injured in Saudi attack in coma
A Canadian-born man who was the victim of a terrorist attack in Saudi Arabia earlier this month is not expected to recover from his injuries. Thomas Washburn, who used to live in New Brunswick, is on life support in a Texas hospital. The 40-year-old oil worker for ABB Lummus Global was seriously wounded May 1 when gunmen opened fire on the companyâs office in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia. Six people died in the attack. Washburn, who was shot in the neck, was initially paralysed but appeared to be recovering steadily. He was able to move his head and upper body, and he spoke to his family. But on Sunday he slipped into a coma after being admitted to a hospital in Houston on his return to the United States. "The only thing we can hope for is a miracle," his brother, Ken Washburn, told the Canadian Press Wednesday.Posted by: TS(vice girl) 2004-05-14 |
